– An underinflated tyre increases fuel
consumption.
– To optimise fuel consumption, set
the highest speed tyre pressure or the
recommended pressure indicated on
the edge of the driver's door 🡺329.
– The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.
Advice on use
– Opt for Eco mode.
– Electricity is fuel: switch off all the
electrical components when they are
not genuinely needed. However(safe
ty first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad ("see and be seen").
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 62 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by 4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
– On vehicles equipped with non-
automatic air conditioning, switch off
theairconditioningwhenitisnotre
quired.
Recommendations for reducing
consumption and therefore helping
to preserve the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun,openthedoorsforafewmo
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Donotleaveanemptyroofrackfit
ted to the vehicle.
– Itisbettertofitatrailerforbulkyob
jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the vehicle for "door-to-
door" calls (short journeys with long
waits in between) because in such
conditions the engine never reaches
its optimal operating temperature.
Vehicle range: advice
(Electric version)
In real usage, the range of an electric
vehicle may vary depending on several
factors over which you have partial
control,whichmaymakeaconsider
able difference to the vehicle range.
These factors are:
– speed and driving style;
– road type;
– heating level;
– tyres;
– use of electrical accessories;
– vehicle loading.
Furthermore,activatingmodeEcoen

Speed and driving style
Driving at high speed will significantly
reduce your vehicle's range.
Examples (at a steady speed):
